The New Farm?

March 05, 1985|By George Mahringer.

UNION MILLS, IND. — Are you tired of paying for farm subsidies? This seems to be the opinion of many people and at least one news commentator. They believe that high tech and a few large farms are going to eliminate subsidies and produce still cheaper food. As farms get larger and more modern, the consumer will find out at the grocery store that he isn`t dealing with the small farmer anymore, but with the banks that financed all of that new machinery.
